Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that she met at least three of the ten evidentiary criteria. The AAO found that the submitted prizes were from local ethnic associations and not nationally or internationally recognized for excellence in her field. The decision also noted serious credibility concerns with a revised award letter submitted after a request for evidence, which changed the reason for the award.
